This new textbook is the first to be based on clinical conditions and this the first to take a truly integrated approach to the topic. Arranged alphabetically,'Pathology Integrated' presents the common clinical conditions a student or junior house officer is likely to meet. These are based on the 'core' knowledge a student requires to pass the final examinations. Divided into three levels of knowledge the book focuses mainly on core conditions . These core entries consist of a typical case history and essential pathology, including illustrations and interpretation of key data. There is also a small clinical footnote on the normal management and treatment of that condition. Non-core conditions of lesser importance and 'one-line' definition entries combine to make this text an unsurpassable resource. The author team combines experts from all pathological disciplines. They are also advised by an international team and a clinical consultant, thus ensuring accuracy of the clinical content.

Case Studies in Infectious Disease: Mycobacterium leprae presents the natural history of this infection from point of entry of the pathogen through pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment. A set of core questions explores the nature, causation, host response, manifestations, and management of this infectious process. This case also includes summary bullet points, questions and answers, and references.

Case Studies in Infectious Disease: Mycobacterium Leprae

Case Studies in Infectious Disease presents forty case studies featuring the most important human infectious diseases worldwide. Written for students of microbiology and medicine this book describes the natural history of infection from point of entry of the pathogen through pathogenesis, followed by clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment. Five core sets of questions are posed in each case. What is the nature of the infectious agent, how does it gain access to the body, what cells are infected, and how does the organism spread? What are the host defense mechanisms against the agent and how is the disease caused? What are the typical manifestations of the infection and the complications that can occur? How is the infection diagnosed and what is the differential diagnosis? How is the infection managed, and what preventative measures can be taken to avoid infection? This standardized approach provides the reader with a logical basis for understanding these diverse and medically important organisms, fully integrating microbiology and immunology throughout.
